#PCCBuzz Gov. Corbett Provolone Wit at Genos, AI & DUNKIN DONUTS in Ritt Sq, Ruben Amaro Jr. engaged, Plage Tahiti – Lost Our Lease?

 Red Mango formerly occupied the spot at 15th and Locust Streets, but closed unceremoniously 15 months after opening, in October 2013
 

 The location has finally found a tenant in Dunkin Donuts, which will be neighbors with the newly opened Treemont by Chip Roman which will also be located at the Aria.
Gov. Corbett stopped by Geno’s Steaks last night and ordered 2 provolone wit.

You may have heard that Plage Tahiti is moving, and merging with it’s sister store Knit Wit, located  1729 Chestnut St. 

I guess they didn’t have a sign that said moving, instead there’s this very dramatic, eye catching sign announcing they lost their lease. Good news for you the markdowns are already on and between 60% – 90% through June 30, that’s 2.5 months of savings.

Suit Corner Saturday Night at 3AM
Jamie Schell and Sophia celebrate Jamie’s engagement to Ruben Amaro Jr. @Rouge 
I ran into the duo the following day at The Philadelphia Futures “Get In The Game” and forgot to run the photo of them together.

Congrats to former 6ABC producer Kristie Gonzales who’s engaged to Chad Janko. Kristie is now the Promotion & Digital Brand Manager for @ABC7NY

AI was at Rumor Lounge on Saturday night. Here’s he’s hanging with Tee Fish who runs the door.

Stacey Kracher took part in the Philabundence Walk this weekend.

 Congrats to Andrew Rosenthal & Jennifer Fatalevich on their engagement. Andrew introduced me to Maria Papadakis while he was attending U of Penn, he went on to Harvard and now lives in San Fran doing great thing. You might remember him as the co-founder of Happier, which made a big splash in Philly and nationwide.

Congrats to Evan Solomon for being appointed to the board for The Foundation for Breast and Prostate Health, as mentioned in the Inky yesterday. 

This is just a memory taken yesterday. Hopefully today’s rain won’t knock all the buds off before you get to see how spectacular Fairmount Park looks. Have a great day. HughE
